Wireless of the Week - week 23

[Mike K]

The WS11 would have been considered a big leap forward when it first came into service .

In terms of rarity , the most elusive version these days is the British set.

1. British....Most of these were lost with the BEF
2. Canadian.......... How many are known of ?
3. Australian.......... Fairly common .

I feel that the AWA set was built to a tight budget . it fell down in many respects. Cheap components , the paper capacitors and the low quality genemotor castings plus the heavy steel cabinets. The Aust. army didn't think much of them either , because they were declared surplus and disposed of as the last bullets were being fired
